Contemplating War

 

Raganos watched the uppyr female sleep and he was still undecided if he should kill her. He found himself reluctant to do so; she simply was the most desirable female he had run across. His tastes always bent toward females and he stared down at the raven haired woman. She rolled to her side and released a soft sigh that made him become aroused all over again. Their blood letting had caused a blood lust that was difficult to ignore and the more he watched her; the more he knew he would not allow her to return to the dog daemon. He sank down next to her and she came awake. He pulled her up and stared down into her light brown eyes.

 

“Your wiles are most amazing.” He purred.

 

“Shut up!” she growled.

 

“I have never engaged an uppyr before woman!” he snapped.

 

“My name is not woman! My name is Augusta Elizaveta.” She said nearly snarling.

 

“Elizaveta is a lovely name princess. I do believe your succubus mother would be quite proud of you.” He said cruelly.

 

“I hate you!” she said trying to free herself from his grasp.

 

“You hate me? You engage your enemies like this?” he laughed.

 

“You are a bastard! God spat you out and your ilk.” She said as her eyes began to bleed crimson.

 

“Not a nice thing to say princess. You do realize you are stirring you blood lust again and I look forward to helping you satiate it.” He laughed.

 

His lips found her neck and sank his fangs in. She groaned and he was right; she was in a state where she needed to feed. He had stirred the part she had tried for centuries to suppress; her succubus nature. She ended up beneath him and she fed from him. His stamina was incredible and his general manner during the act had her going crazy. She fell back exhausted and stared at the ceiling. He was beside her and he had a shit eating grin on his face.

 

“I want to hate you.” She snapped.

 

“Well if it helps; I do not hate you.” He laughed.

 

“You are an arrogant ass.” She said in a low growl.

 

“I have been alive for three thousand years woman. I have a right to be arrogant.” He said grabbing her so that she straddled him.

 

She gasped as he laid her back and her sultry brown eyes widened when he phased himself within her and she suddenly became utterly consumed. He was not controlling her but evoking her physical responses to a fever pitch. She knew she must be a sight and she was begging and pleading with him. She was hoarse as she began screaming; she heard the chuckling in her mind and suddenly Augusta became blinded by the most incredible climax of body and soul. She truly thought she was dead and fell into the bliss. She felt horrid guilt and he chuckled beside her. Her face twisted in anger and she jumped up and away from the wraith.

Asuna was resting and she looked over at Tekeshi who was walking to regain his faculties. Nobu had bound her wounds and she looked up at her healer mate. He smiled gently and lifted her chin.

 

“You shall overcome this my soul.” He said in funnel.

 

“I wish the Shouten would just die out.” She replied in kind.

 

“Well if wishes were uma.” He stated with mirth.

 

“You are too good.” She sighed looking away.

 

“Why do you hold yourself to ridiculous standards? You are not ningen and most certainly not a normal inu bitch.” Nobu stated chastising her sadness.

 

“I know not okay? I feel like that maybe I should be like everyone else.” She snapped.

 

“Well Rishou is mated to two people and Kamis know that your whole brood follows you in one way or another.” Nobu laughed.

 

“That makes me feel so much better kumo!” she snapped.

 

He chuckled and moved away; Asuna locked eyes with Tekeshi and he smiled softly at her. He moved over slowly to her. She sighed as he lifted her chin.

 

“May I ask those questions now?” he asked gently.

 

“Hai.” She murmured.

 

“How are you?” he inquired.

 

“Angry and very tired. You look well.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“I think I shall be fine. It seems your daughter is an excellent surgeon. I am very much in her debt. Aijou, you look so beautiful.” He said pressing his forehead to hers.

 

“Tekeshi. I failed you. You fell because I was not there!” She said with a heavy heart.

 

“I try and be kind Aijou but I knew what I was doing. I knew I faced someone who was my equal on the battlefield. I trained Katashi my love. I knew I was taking a chance and Sheng has been here to tell me what an incredible job that Ang Chi did as lord. He also told me that you fell trying to defend Manchuria for your son.” He said holding her face between his warm hands.

 

“It was a bad time.” She muttered.

 

“Aijou. We both did what we felt we had to. I hold no ill will. I know you moved on.” He said softly.

 

“Why did you never tell me of Geming, Changming, and Hwan?” she asked.

 

“It never occurred to me. They were grown.” He shrugged.

 

“They are all alive by the way. Geming sired a daughter who mated Ang Chi. Chang is still unmated and Hwan is very amorous.” She said smiling.

 

“Sheng? I was shocked to see him alive.” He murmured as he fought himself from devouring her.

 

“I made a bargain with Kaito. I bore him a daughter in exchange for Sheng's life. I was told I had to let you go. Soul Society has been on my back since Kaito brought Sheng back.” She stated looking away.

 

“I cheated death before. I think that is why. Aijou stop crying.” He said gently making her look at him.

 

Her amber-brown eyes meet his and they were swimming. His inu instincts kicked in and he pulled her into his arms. She gasped softly as his lips sought hers and he dominated his bitch. He groaned a little in pain and frustration as she wrenched away from his lips.

 

“Lay down now!” she commanded.

 

“Hai.” He muttered in annoyance.

 

Asuna stiffened when she felt an Arrancar and turned to see one of Grimmjow's Fraccion. Her mouth dropped open and he smirked.

 

“My master demands you aid him and the dog.” Yylfordt Granz stated.

 

“Your master cannot handle one damn request?” she growled.

 

“My master is ready to try and kill your sire. I would aid him madam so I suggest you come to Hueco Mundo.” Yylfordt said smirking.

 

Tekeshi looked concerned and she sneered at the blonde Arrancar. She growled loudly and she snapped her fangs.

 

“Why can Grimmjow not settle down once?” she roared.

 

“It is not his style.” Yylfordt laughed.

 

“Tekeshi, I must go.” She said sighing.

 

“Where and to who?” he asked surprised.

 

“Hueco Mundo is the other plane just like Soul Society.” She tried to explain.

 

“You are going into the afterlife?” he asked shocked.

 

“Oh Tekeshi! I have much to explain. I lived before Sorami and I shall explain later.” She sighed.

 

“Aijou!” Tekeshi growled.

 

“Grimmjow is going to get a kick out of this!” Yylfordt snorted.

 

Asuna grew angry and she released the Supaida nami against the blonde Arrancar. He was thrown through the wall into the hall and slid down a column.

 

“Never forget who I am Arrancar. I will destroy you!” She snarled.

 

Tekeshi watched in utter amazement as his love released her yoki in a way he had never seen. She turned to stare at him and he knew the stories of the famed Ayana Agelina.

 

“You were a kumo?” he asked shocked.

 

“Hai. I was she.” She said sighing.

 

Her eyes widened and she was shaking in anger. Tekeshi sat up when he saw what could only be a kami step in. White hair billowed around the man and his brown eyes surveyed the area. Asuna bowed and Tekeshi was stared at by the being.

 

“Hikari is being prosecuted.” Teru said under his breath.

 

“For what?” Asuna said growling.

 

“For restoring an elder! Damnit Asuna you knew!” the kami snapped.

 

“You would allow my child to be sentenced to death?” Asuna said in anger.

 

“I love Kaito! He was my dearest friend but he and Hikari go too far! You have always gone too far.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“Fuck you Yamamoto!” Asuna said extending her hand.

 

“You would fight me?” he demanded.

 

“You will not put my daughter to death!” she snarled.

 

“I have no choice Asuna! I have rules that I must follow!” he said perplexed.

 

“You have not always followed the rules.” She hissed.

 

“You are right! I have not but I am in control of the Seireitei and I have a little leeway but your family smashes through it all!” he snapped.

 

“You will not take her Teruyoshi!” she said narrowing her eyes.

 

“Damnit! If it is not me then it will be another shikyo konjou. I am sorry.” He said looking away.

 

“I will fight you!” she said getting damn near hysterical.

 

“You would loose.” He said jerking his head to stare at her.

 

“Then I will loose.” Asuna retorted.

 

“Asuna! Do not do this!” The Captain General said.

 

She flexed her hand again and Tekeshi watched in awe as her fang appeared. Teru looked surprised and stepped back.

 

“Do not be foolish.” He commanded.

 

“You hold no sway over me shinigami! You will not harm one of my pups!” she snarled.

 

All could see that the inu princess was totally consumed within her beast and Teru knew he may be able to beat her but it would cost him his existence. He felt anger and he knew that his liaison with her was over. She would deny him any and all access to Hinata and that infuriated him.

 

“I will not fight you here. I will not fight you at all.” He said glaring at her.

 

Anger consumed her and she tried to throw him. He stood there impassively and he slowly withdrew from her presence. She was shaking and she looked away. Granz was gone and she fought the urge to tear something up.

 

“Aijou what is going on?” he asked.

 

“Hikari is a Tomoshibi and she has been sentenced to death. I must go!” she said suddenly porting out.

 

She appeared in the Seireitei and her face showed her fury. She would tear the place apart if need be but they would not kill her daughter. She went to the Kuchiki Estate and found Byakuya with his son. He looked up at her and she was shaking.

 

“They have sentenced Mizuki's sister to death.” She snapped.

 

“Which sister?” he asked raising a brow.

 

“Hikari. Kuchiki you must use some influence because if she is killed then I shall rein wrath on this place the likes that Yamamoto has never seen.” She threatened.

 

“How can he put a Tomoshibi to death?” Byakuya asked confused.

 

“I am not sure. I know that Kaito has been banished and I am getting furious enough that I shall release him wherever he is. Enough is enough as the Shouten have reappeared and they make Aizen look like a day in the park.” She growled.

 

“My lady please be calm about this.” Byakuya stated with a neutral voice.

 

Asuna suddenly quit his presence and she knew where they kept prisoners. She knew in her gut that she was separating herself from Soul Society but she did not care. She ported to the white tower and there were two masked guards. She moved swiftly and broke one's neck and waved the other to his death on the valley floor below. She managed to open the door and Hikari looked up. A smile widened her face; mother and daughter hugged each other and Asuna grabbed her hand.

 

“Haha this is it. I can never return.” Hikari said softly.

 

“I know Hikari. Juria can give you a means of staying in the real world.” Asuna stated sadly.

 

“My Kamis to think I will have form always.” She said stunned.

 

“Come daughter.” Asuna commanded.

 

They were moving away from the prison and Asuna stiffened. She looked ahead and saw Kaimei. Hatred and fury possessed her and she nodded to Hikari who promptly vanished.

 

“You overstep your bounds one too many times you horrid bitch!” the older Tomoshibi stated.

 

Asuna narrowed her eyes and she intended to rid herself of her former brother in law. She moved with a swiftness of a mother protecting her young and she stabbed her claws straight through his heart. Kaimei's green eyes widened in complete shock and she gave him a cruel smirk. She released the supaida nami within his flesh and she was thrown back. She had to flip and she landed in a crouched position. They had developed an audience and she saw Teru. His face held complete shock and Kaimei was dead. She stood and flicked his blood disdainfully from her hand.

 

“What have you done?” Teru said in bewilderment.

 

“Ended his rein of terror over his family. Do not try and stop me Yamamoto as you will not win!” Asuna growled with utter contempt.

 

She saw him reach for his zanpakuto and she had him against a pillar with Konkisaiga against his throat.

 

“I know not how you would die but I swear I will end your existence.” She growled in her beast's voice.

 

“Where has your sense gone?” Teru snapped.

 

“The self important piece of shit sentenced my daughter to death! I have only delivered what he had so graciously appointed for an onna much better then him! Goodbye Teru as I imagine I will never see you again.” Asuna said stepping back.

 

She ported away quickly and Captain General Yamamoto stared at the spot where she had stood. He felt utter despair at the moment as she was now an enemy of Soul Society.

Raganos was lazily lying on pile of pillows reading reports from his most trusted scouts. It seemed the male dog was close and it appeared aided by an Arrancar of all things. He was amused and looked up when he saw the uppyr female in the door. She was stunning and he beckoned her over. She crossed her arms in defiance and he smirked. He actually liked her strong nature and he stood up. He appeared suddenly behind her from his mist and she yelped in surprise. He pulled her into the iciness and tipped her head back as expertly ravished her lips. He pulled them back until he felt the solid form of an old twisted tree. He quickly unzipped the silk that she wore. He pulled her backwards as his skin was dug into by the bark of the tree. Augusta could not breathe as he filled every sense. She knew without a doubt and she believed with all her heart that the wraiths and uppyr were once the same race. Her flawless features crumpled as he thrust into her. His hands explored; his fingers rolled and plucked her succulent tips and her pearl. He refused to let her go and he continued his carnal torture until she was begging. A lazy smile played on his perfect face as he continued to plunder her sweet depths. It took every bit of control to hold them both back and he was truly in a state himself. He would take this woman from the dog and watch as the silver haired mutt suffered. She was the only female uppyr he had ever been attracted to. Raganos pulled her flush to him as he reached a fever pitch. Her voice was raw as she screamed out. He had to hold her up as they both climaxed at the same moment. He was barely aware of anything as their bodies trembled against the other. He sank his fangs deeply into her jugular to gain his substance. He could taste the endorphins in her blood and he damn near crushed her. Augusta could not breathe as he fed from her. Raptures coursed through her and the wraith snarled against her throat.

 

“Woman!” he hissed.

 

“What?” she asked in a faint whisper.

 

“You will give me your soul.” He snapped out.

 

“No!” she said breathlessly.

 

“I will kill the dog.” He growled out.

 

“NO!” she nearly shrieked.

 

“I will murder him slowly. I will make him take his life.” He sneered in her ear.

 

“No!” she whimpered.

 

“You will not shut me out any longer. You will give all of yourself to me now!” he said in a cold voice.

 

She lowered her shields completely and she was filled with his very essence. She stopped breathing for a moment and her eyes rolled back. Raganos was shaking as he took all of her in. A wraith binding would kill if broken. The fell to their knees as he made her consumed in his everything and she had the power to take him. His shut his eyes in bliss as he could sense every little nerve and his body hummed in response. He pulled her back into his mist and they fell upon his bed. Augusta stared blankly at him with reddened eyes and all manner of things flitted across his mind. Their almost animalistic encounters made him yearn for her. He had a pretty good idea that he had made a very dangerous enemy in the dog daemon but this woman now was his.

 

“You will give me a son from this body.” He said in her ear.

 

“I hate you.” She said weakly.

 

“No, I know you lie. You love how I take you. You were designed to be with your own kind woman. You may be uppyr but your strength is unusual and I will plunder your addicting depths whenever and however I wish. Your healing powers are incredible.” He said as he began to nip her lips.

 

She mewled into the caress and how he touched her changed. He hooked her leg in the crook of his arm and slid in very slowly. She was shaking and she realized he was going to make her with child. She could not summon the rage she should feel and she knew he was suppressing her will. She was brought into a long orgasm and she could not focus on anything except the acute pleasure she was experiencing. She watched his face as he succumbed to the pleasure as well.

 

“Augusta Elizaveta you are a goddess.” He moaned in her ear.

 

She was speechless and he pulled back and fell to his back. Wraiths were like uppyr in that in most cases there was no pair bonds but Raganos was not loosing her powers or her luscious body. She would bear a very powerful child and he could actually feel the tug on his cold nature and heart. She had passed out and he rolled to his side and stared down at her.

 

“Did you get her pregnant?” Thei asked from the door.

 

“I am sure I did my sister.” He said looking up.

 

“You wore her out.” Thei laughed softly.

 

“Why do you dare disturb me?” he snapped.

 

“I was curious is all my majesty. Forgive my intrusion. I thought I should tell you that several Arrancar have been seen.” She said amused.

 

“Deal with them. You have more power than any Vasto Lorde.” He sneered.

 

“As you command my lord.” She said bowing and slipping away.

 

He knew his sister and she was jealous of the uppyr. Thei had always been his favorite sibling amongst his many. She was also his heir if something happened to him. He smirked and spooned his delicious new mate.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Grimmjow did not think he stand another second of the inu. He was already bloody again and the damn dog was more powerful then anything he had encountered. He wondered if the dog could best Aizen. He felt sudden relief when he saw the onna he had been obsessing about. She walked straight up to him and slapped him. He snapped his fangs and they glared at the other.

 

“This Sesshomaru will no longer suffer this vermin's presence.” The inu lord declared with nary a tone change.

 

“My lord please.” Asuna said reasonably.

 

“NO!” Sesshomaru said with his glacial tone.

 

Grimmjow tried to charge the inu and Asuna held him back.

 

“Do not stupid Grimmjow. The gates of the Netherworld open to him!” Asuna snapped in his ear.

 

“The fucker can find his own way in this fucking sand! I want my girl!” he said with a dangerous tone.

 

“You will die.” Sesshomaru said turning slowly and with completely frigid eyes.

 

Grimmjow pulled a fist back and actually nailed the perfect patrician nose of the inu lord. Asuna had to haul her Arrancar lover off of her father and she watched as her sire wiped blood from his mouth. He was angrier then he normally was and she raised a brow.

 

“My lord what are you feeling?” she asked softly.

 

“I feel nothing. I do not feel her at all. She bound us in the Sengoku Jidaii.” He said without a flicker of emotion.

 

She knew his anger and he was feeling alone. The feeling could drive one mad and she felt for him. She pushed Grimmjow back and her blue haired lover was near maniac level. His cerulean eyes held malice and she hissed.

 

“He suffers! You have no idea what it feels like Arrancar.” She said under her breath.

 

“I'd pummel your snotty ass in the ground if you weren't already so fucking pathetic.” Grimmjow snarled.

 

“Stop now!” Asuna growled.

 

“Well well well what do we have here?” they all heard.

 

Asuna turned and saw a beautiful creature with soft black hair. His silver eyes flicked over her form and she narrowed her eyes. He was a Shouten and hatred boiled up in her.

 

“Where is my mother wraith?” she growled.

 

“Most likely in my brother's bed in the throes of passion.” The beautiful creature said mirthfully.

 

Her father's features began to roughen and she knew he would start to tear everything to pieces. The silver eyes watched her amused and her lip curled.

 

“You do not like me. I do not blame you but I assure that we are nothing like the Jings. I am Hanaj.” He said bowing with a nasty grin on his face.

 

Grimmjow was itching for a fight and he moved to pummel the wraith and he landed several good punches and kicks. He was fixing to release his cero when he felt horrendous pain in his hollow hole.

 

“Arrancar you should really know your betters.” Hanaj said arrogantly.

 

Asuna looked back and her sire had changed form. Acidic saliva dripped from the great inu's mouth and Hanaj focused his attention on the silver daemon. The female intrigued him and Raganos had said she was powerful. He slowly circled the massive beast and Sesshomaru dove for the wraith. He phased in and out with tremendous speed and his shoki appeared around him as a mere shadow. He suddenly appeared behind the woman and he wrapped his claws around her long neck. He pressed in claws and released his cold poison and she made a strangled gasp.

 

“You are interesting.” He whispered in her ear.

 

“You will die by my hand Shouten filth!” she sneered.

 

“You are mated to the Tepest. How very intriguing. Did the bastard tell you that he used to take our women? He would have them drawn and quartered. He reasoned that if there were none that could bear our young then we would die out. You should ask your uppyr king what atrocities he has committed against my kind!” he snarled in her ear.

 

“Who started the spat hmm? How is that anything to do with my mother?” she growled in return.

 

“She is an incredibly beautiful thing. You bear her succubus blood and you are very decadent. She will bear my brother a child for the one your mate stole from him!” he laughed softly in her ear.

 

“You carry forward the hatred and do nothing to change things.” She snapped.

 

“You pissed off the Jings. I must admit Lei was a disgusting thing.” He cooed in her ear.

 

She choked as he phased within her. His silver eyes widened and he could feel her recent memories. He invaded her mind and she actually threw him out. He landed a good fifteen feet away and he stared at the amazing woman.

 

“You just killed another manner of wraith!” he accused.

 

“I killed an enemy.” She sneered.

 

“What an interesting technique you employed. You are quite a skilled murderess.” He laughed.

 

Her sire jumped and pinned the wraith to white sand that soon began to turn pink from the wraith's blood. It looked like her father would devour the Shouten when Asuna stopped him. She stared over at Grimmjow and he smirked with a nasty smile.

 

“I will find out the answers we seek my lord. Do not kill him yet.” Asuna stated as she knelt beside him.

 

Her sire yipped and she neared the silver eyed male wraith. She bent near him and sank her fangs into his throat. He withered in pain and she saw the location of the Shouten palace. She stood up and yipped to her father in return. Sesshomaru slowly returned to his normal state and crushed the arm of Hanaj under his booted foot.

 

“Finish him off now!” Sesshomaru commanded his daughter.

 

Asuna sighed and she had seen things she wished she had not seen. Her yipped and barked softly and her sire immediately changed to his energy sphere. Grimmjow stared at her and she jerked her head to the side.

 

“When we get your damn mother I wanna see the neko girl.” Grimmjow stated as he used his sonido.

 

She watched him go and she knelt beside Hanaj who was still in pain.

 

“How is it you maintain your uppyr powers?” he demanded.

 

“I may look inu dominant but I assure you that I am as much uppyr as inu. I saw the battles but those were not mine. The Jing Shouten are my enemies and shall remain that way.” She growled.

 

“There are none left. You did us a favor by ridding the Shouten of such a ridiculous family.” Hanaj stated smirking.

 

“He wants me to kill you. I should because he ordered it.” She said in a snarling tone.

 

“Go ahead and try young one.” He stated smirking.

 

She glared at his face and realized her error too late. He moved swiftly and had her pinned to the sand this time. He was chiseled in his looks and was very striking and he neared his face close to hers. He did not smell like death that she was used to scenting on wraiths. He actually had a pleasant musky smell and he smiled at her.

 

“I told you that we are not the Jings. You are very pretty though.” He said smirking.

 

“Shut up!” she growled.

 

“How about we wrestle a bit and we pretend to fight and then you can satisfy your honor. I shall enjoy groping you and perhaps taste your blood a bit. Perhaps if it is really good then one of us will enjoy it more then the other.” He said smirking playfully.

 

“Get off of me.” She said growling louder.

 

“Shall I show you how fun it can be to play with a wraith?” he asked grinning.

 

“No! I wish to find my mother and deal with things at home.” She said struggling a little.

 

“Stop that! You are making this more difficult then it has to be.” He snapped at her.

 

“Difficult for what you damn piece of ether?” she snarled.

 

He began chuckling deeply and his voice was rather pleasant to hear. Asuna growled louder and she tried to strike him. He sighed and pressed his chest to hers. He nuzzled her neck and she gasped as she felt his tongue on her jugular.

 

“Stop!” she hissed.

 

“No not yet. Damn your skin tastes sweet.” He muttered.

 

He wrapped his fangs around her neck and she struggled hard to try and the stop the intimacy. Hanaj was truly entranced to her natural taste to her skin and he bit in lightly into the petal like skin of her elegant neck. She gasped and he forced himself to suppress his poison. He lost his head a moment and clamped down a little harder. Her blood erupted on his tongue and he groaned. She was a strong female and her uppyr blood tasted so similar to a wraith woman's blood that he nearly swooned. Her eyes fluttered back and she groaned out too.

 

“Kamis.” She breathed out.

 

He lifted his head and her life force stained his lips. Hanaj saw her lips moist and her breathing faster and lust swiftly tore through him. He forced himself to stand and he stared down at her as she pushed herself up. She wore a body hugging black blouse that was plunging in the front. The swell of her breasts were hinted at and she wore loose grey silk pants with a thin grey obi. She stared at him and the need to join with her on some manner was plaguing him. He hissed in annoyance and turned his head.

 

“How dare you take such liberties!” she said prowling the ground like the predator she was.

 

“I only returned the favor woman. I at least had enough courtesy to make it feel good.” He said sneering.

 

She looked angry and he was in need. He felt like a fool and she neared him. He could see the uppyr reflected in her eyes and she jerked him forward. She was indeed a quarter succubus and their lips suddenly collided. He groaned into her mouth and she growled in response. Their tongues collided and he held her shoulders. He managed to pull himself back and he ached acutely.

 

“You are like a rare form of drug that I would almost be stupid enough to get addicted to.” He murmured.

 

“What did you do to me?” she snarled.

 

“Nothing. Not all Shouten are the same. All dogs are not the same breed correct?” he snickered.

 

She was mortified at herself and she stepped away from him. She could taste his blood on her lips and she stared at his silver eyes. He stepped over to her and took her hands and she watched in horror and fascination as his hands suddenly phased within hers. He immediately could feel and sense so many things. His eyes widened and hers did too as he made her nerves come alive. She fell to her knees and he followed suit. He realized he needed more and he met her reddened eyes.

 

“I will not hurt you.” He groaned out.

 

“What are you doing to me?” she asked in an almost pained voice.

 

“Releasing us both.” He moaned loudly.

 

She fell back suddenly and it seemed he was gone. She knew better and he was inside of her body. She felt her body respond and she felt a deep ceded need to writhe and arch.

 

“Do not torture me!” she growled out loudly.

 

She felt him within her own most private thoughts and she felt paralyzing warmth followed by cold that caused her muscles to twitch of their own volition. She actually screamed out and she became aware that the one known as Hanaj was holding her up. She blinked at him and he blinked at her. She was completely angry at herself and jerked away from him. She scrambled backwards and neither said anything. He was breathing hard and she knew what had occurred; the major difference was he had not done it to hurt her and exact revenge. She was confused and resistant to the idea that the Shouten were anything but monsters. He growled at her thoughts and he stood up in an angry huff.

 

“How dare you judge me based upon what a mentally challenged group of Shouten did to you.” He said in an angry tone.

 

“I have never met a wraith except for the Tomoshibi who were worth anything.” She snapped.

 

“You never dealt with us! Your wonderful mate is a murderer a million times over. You were justified in your hatred of the Jings but you are not my enemy. You may cavort with my enemies but you are not one of mine.” Hanaj stated.

 

“What are you saying Shouten?” she demanded.

 

“I am not sure.” He said stepping back and disappearing into his mist.

 

She was completely dumbfounded and stared at where the Shouten had been. She was unsure exactly what had happened but knew she would see Hanaj again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sesshomaru stared at the grand white and crystal like palace and his lip actually curled. He could now feel her and he was fighting his beast. She was feeling horrendous guilt and he knew the wraith had taken his mate. He knew Augusta and he knew she would sacrifice everything for him and their family. She would turn herself out in order to protect him. Self disgust invaded his normally clear and calculated mind. His hand rested upon Tensaiga and he took great pleasure that his once hated relic of his sire could wreck such havoc on these disgusting beasts. He could sense her close by and his hair actually stood up on end. He saw her suddenly and she looked horrified. She mouthed his name and he pulled his fang.

 

“Sesshomaru!” she cried.

 

The great inu lord turned and saw the wraith that had taken his beloved. The arrogant male stared at him with contempt and Sesshomaru began to growl loudly.

 

“You keep my mate against her will and dare touch what belongs to this Sesshomaru!” he sneered.

 

“I do as I please when I please dog.” Raganos stated bluntly.

 

Sesshomaru moved with incredible speed and the wraith leader blocked an attack from the Tensaiga. Raganos hissed in pain as the blade sliced into his flesh. He had to morph his limb and strike against the inu. He realized the weapon would destroy him and he hissed in anger. He looked over at the wall and willed a battle axe into it. He began wielding his weapon of choice from bygone days. They were clashing weapons over and over as Augusta watched horrified. Sesshomaru was obviously the superior swordsman and Raganos knew it too. She tried to scream as she watched the wraith shove an iridescent limb straight through her mate and she finally did manage to scream.

 

“You will not have your lovely woman back dog. She does not wish to be here but I shall tell you that I will make sure she stays at least satisfied. She has begun to feed in a proper fashion and not deny who she is.” He sneered.

 

“You are a foul netherworld beast wraith; you will not live to touch her again!” Sesshomaru stated as he reared back his hand.

 

Raganos suppressed his scream as the toxin of the inu ate into his skin. The dog lord flooded him with the Dakkasou and he gurgled in pain.

 

“Kill me and you will kill her!” he rasped.

 

“You lie vermin!” Sesshomaru hissed.

 

“Why would I lie? You kill me and you will make her perish right along with me. I forced open her mind dog. I know her as well as you do. Go ahead and finish me and loose your precious woman!” Raganos laughed.

 

The wraith was dropped and Sesshomaru turned to Augusta. She looked ashamed and hateful at the wraith. He released his whip and killed two wraiths who attempted to aid their leader.

 

“Augusta come.” Sesshomaru commanded.

 

“Hai.” She said as she came closer.

 

“Betraying me succubus? I will come for you.” Raganos threatened.

 

“Try you fucking bastard!” she growled at him.

 

Raganos laughed as the inu lord took his mate and transformed. He knew there was an Arrancar nearby as well and he turned his head.

 

“So Arrancar you show up a little late or were you hoping to let the dog die?” he asked with a curled lip.

 

“If the asshole died I wouldn't give a shit!” Grimmjow growled.

 

“You like the female dog.” Raganos stated flatly.

 

“None of your business.” Grimmjow said narrowing his magnificent eyes.

 

“You supposedly serve that human death god. You are a fool; he has more enemies then friends. I assure you that I will not suffer him much longer and I am much more powerful.” Raganos said standing.

 

“Yeah you look really fucking powerful Shouten. You can barely stand. Aizen will crush you.” Grimmjow said laughing.

 

“Tell this Aizen that his days are numbered. You are a hollow and therefore more then expendable.” Raganos said laughing.

 

Grimmjow was suddenly gone and the wraith recognized a potential ally. He was injured but he would heal. He managed to limp to his throne and Thei was there.

 

“Watch her. I want to know if she has my son within her womb.” He commanded.

 

“Yes my lord.” Thei said bowing.

 

Thei phased out and he was in a terrible mood. He would have preferred to have been healed by joining with her flesh. He watched his youngest brother Hanaj come in and he narrowed his eyes.

 

“Where have you been?” he demanded.

 

“I was watching the Arrancar. They were near.” Hanaj stated.

 

“I want you in the other plane. I want you and Hatham to ascertain the whole of this family. I need to recover.” He said phasing out.

 

Hanaj stared at the throne and grumbled. The silver female was absolutely divine and he was very attracted to her. He had seen her there in the wastelands and he was intrigued. She had faced down two very powerful Shouten and lived to tell about it. He sighed and went in search of his cousin Hatham.

Asuna was in the hospital seeing to Rishou's son and to Tekeshi. She was in complete confusion about everything and she turned to see Hikari. Her daughter was no longer Tomoshibi but very much in fact human. Her jaw dropped and she could plainly see the light golden eyes misted in tears.

 

“Hello haha.” She said bowing.

 

“Gomenasai Hikari.” Asuna stated wrapping her arms around her daughter.

 

“It will alright. I do not regret my actions.” Hikari replied.

 

Asuna saw Tekeshi in the doorway and Hikari turned. Her golden haired daughter went to her knee before the former Manchu lord and Tekeshi seemed quite stunned.

 

“I am Hikari my lord Tekeshi. I am the daughter of Kaito and my lady mother.” She said quite formally.

 

“Why do you bow before a defunct lord child?” he asked surprised.

 

“Because you my lord are and were an elder. I am most honored to finally meet the sire of my sweet sister Hana.” Hikari said looking up.

 

“Thank you.” Tekeshi stated with mirth.

 

Hikari stood and drifted away. Tekeshi stared at the onna of his heart and he pulled her up. He had been pumping those around him for information. He had learned that after his death she had become powerful and quite coveted. She had ruled his lands with flair and finesse and had made them great. She had become a mother many times over and she had become the mate consort of the Tsuchigumo Kingdom. She had never stopped loving him and had attended his shrine faithfully. That bit of information touched him more then he thought it would. He did not care where they were and his lips worked hers and she responded without any thought.

 

“I am well. Let me make love to you.” He whispered in her ear.

 

She nodded and he felt her port them somewhere. She pushed him back and began stripping out of her clothes. She was wasting no time and his blood thrilled at her actions. He stared upon her nearly flawless body and need ripped through him. He sat up and slipped out of the loosely fitting lounge clothes as they were called. He pressed her back and his black hair fell around them. He wanted to kiss her and he wanted to worship her but she urged him to join them. He released a low moan that sounded so incredibly soulful as she met his hips.

 

“Aijou! Asuna.” He mumbled as their flesh became untied over and over.

 

“Hai.” She groaned loudly and clawed at his back.

 

Memories flooded him and he could feel her righteous emotions. She was always larger than life and she was still no different. She was pulling every bit of yoki from him and he was spiraling out of control. She was so incredibly powerful that he could not imagine. She suddenly gripped his taut backside almost painfully and he snarled out loudly as her climax triggered his. She arched against him as his purification washed over them both. They were panting as they were in the midst of powerful consumption.

 

“Aijou? What are you doing?” he asked as he could feel his body suddenly tight with need again.

 

“Why did you leave me? Why did you not wait for me?” she murmured as raptures tore through him.

 

“It was at that moment or never aijou. I had to make a move.” He stated.

 

“You swore you would not leave me.” She said crying into his neck.

 

“I did not wish to die.” He murmured.

 

“I know. Oh Kamis! Hai!” she said gasping out.

 

They cleaved to the other as she became spent. Her amber-brown eyes closed as her chest heaved. He slipped from her body and she felt his tongue at her center. He was making up for his absence and she realized what a long night ahead she had.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sesshomaru was bathing his mate himself and he was acting all inu. He scrubbed the scent of the wraith off and he kept his fury in check. He intended to call upon the uppyr leader and very soon. He branded Augusta with his scent and mark as he held her to him.

 

“What did he do to you?” he demanded.

 

“He threatened you. I saw him snap you bone as if nothing. I could not live if you died!” she said crying out.

 

“Rest my love. You are my heart and my soul onna. There is no me without you.” He said softly nuzzling her neck.

Tears stung her eyes and she knew what he knew. She wrapped her arms around her mate and began sobbing. She had not felt this helpless or out of control for so long. Raganos had managed to gleefully bring out her succubus tendencies and she quashed them like she usually did. Her mate had guided her mouth to his neck and she fed. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she took from him what she always needed and always wanted. They both knew things were on the horizon and somehow they were involved. He finally laid her on their bed and he was dressed in formal attire. He went in search of Yasu and beckoned the old inu and the founder of the Silver dynasty in the West to him. He was followed by the old man and he checked the Western Lady. Yasu sighed softly and Sesshomaru grew furious. He in no way blamed Augusta and hatred twisted in him. All manner of torture for the foul beast flitted through his brain. He left his rooms and went to his study. He picked up the phone that was there that he rarely used and dialed Mizuki.

 

“Hello.” His grand pup stated in a very crisp tone.

 

“Mizuki.” He stated simply.

 

“Jii-chan?” she asked shocked.

 

“Hai. Please inform the uppyr king that I extend an invitation and that his enemies are now this Sesshomaru's enemies!” he said in his cold baritone.

 

The phone went dead and Mizuki stared at the reciever. Something bad must have occurred for her grandsire to even deign to pick up a phone. She quickly dialed Romania and Rina picked up the phone.

 

“Rina it is Mizuki. Hai! Jii-chan wants to see your sire as soon as possible. He said and I quote tell the uppyr ruler that his enemies are now my enemies.” Mizuki said into the reciever.

 

“What happened do you think?” Rina asked.

 

“I know that obbasan was taken but the wraith must have hurt her. He is colder then normal Rina. Can you get your chichi to the West and soon?” Mizuki demanded.

 

“Da. He is itching to tear at some wraiths. Bye.” Rina stated.

 

Mizuki hung up the phone and stared out into the Tokyo night. The battles with the Shouten would never stop it seemed and she wondered how this would affect Aizen and his plans. Thoughts of the handsome shinigami made her gut twist in anger. She looked up to see Karu and a smile spread on her lips. He pulled her up and pressed a hand to her swollen belly. Her kumo mate was mesmerized as he lowered his head to her neck. He hissed softly and groaned.

 

“You smell so damn good!” he growled in her ear.

 

“Wish to take the mother of your child?” she laughed lightly.

 

“Hai. Kamis over and over.” He laughed.

 

He took her hands and they ported via his shoki back to Sendai. Byakuya was incredibly busy within Soul Society itself and at the moment she only saw him once or twice a week. It was nice for the moment because she would start out with Karu and end up with Tesla in Vietnam. She felt horrid at herself but she would not loose her love a second time. Kaz and she were fighting at the moment and she had told him to fuck himself. The look on the beautiful inu's face was priceless and she smirked at that memory. She was lead to her Sendai bedroom and she knew she would be in bliss soon enough.

Ichigo was sitting on the roof of his house and he was listening for any hollow activity. He looked up and saw several shinigami from Soul Society. He stood up and raised an orange brow at them.

 

“What're you doing here?” he asked.

 

“We are hunting an enemy of Soul Society substitute shinigami.” A dark haired shinigami stated.

 

“Who's the enemy?” he asked curiously.

 

“The youkai named Lady Asuna Orlovich.” The other answered.

 

“Pardon? She's the mother of my kids! What the hell is going on?” he demanded.

 

“Captain General Yamamoto has ordered it. She rescued a condemned prisoner and killed an elder of Soul Society.” The first shinigami stated.

 

“You must seriously be stupid if you think you'd take her. There's no way I'd betray her either. Get the hell out of here!” Ichigo growled out.

 

“Do you disobey orders?” the second snapped.

 

“I'm not a seated officer dumbass and Old Man Yama isn't my leader. You aren't taking my love anywhere!” the young shinigami stated in fury.

 

Hinata and Masaki were asleep in his room with his sister Karin watching them. Ichigo's handsome face was set in a frown and he suddenly shunpoed away. He could be in Tokyo within the half hour and he was pissed off. He was pretty certain she was there and when he reached the window of her pent house and he pounded on it. She went to the window and opened it. She stared at Ichigo and raised a silver brow amused.

 

“I do have a front door Ichigo.” She said smiling.

 

“Don't have time for that Asuna. Old Man Yama wants to have you arrested.” He informed her.

 

“I know.” She said calmly.

 

“What? So you did bust someone out?” he asked surprised.

 

“Did you not do the same thing with Kuchiki's sister?” she asked.

 

“Hai but she was innocent.” Ichigo said confused.

 

“Well so is Hikari. I killed Kaimei and I have no regrets. I will kill any shinigami who lays a hand upon me or my family.” She shrugged.

 

“Asuna what the fuck is going on?” he asked concerned.

 

She reached out and pulled him in. He was surprised to see her alone and she spread open his haori. When her lips found his chest and teased his flat nubs, he groaned. She was amused and very much in control of herself at the moment. She ended up pushing him flat against her bed and he released a long groan when she took all of him into her waiting mouth. He could not breathe as she worked him perfectly. He was straining and she suddenly stopped.

 

“What the hell?” he asked in anger.

 

“Hush! I hear something.” She stated in a fierce whisper.

 

He was really pissed off that his time with her was interrupted and he growled in annoyance. She bolted upright and Konkisaiga appeared.

 

“What is it?” he asked in a whisper as he straightened his hakama.

 

“Shouten!” she snapped.

 

He straightened up totally and scrambled for Zengetsu's. He was suddenly thrown through her wall and hit the bathroom wall. There stood a rather lithe and willowy wraith. He turned his angular face towards her and she knew horrendous fury. She lifted her chin and she suddenly threw the beast through her window with her will alone. Hanaj appeared behind her and pinned her arms behind her. Ichigo was grumbling in annoyance as he entered the room. He saw the silver eyed wraith holding onto his lover and he grew furious.

 

“Bankai!” Ichigo cried out.

 

“A shinigami! How cute!” Hanaj snickered.

 

“Get your filthy hands off of her!” Ichigo stated as his reiastu flared.

 

“Or what shinigami? You going to fight me and mess up your girlfriend's nice things? How about this? We play nice and I talk to the lady here or you are going to have to find your brats.” Hanaj said very calmly.

 

“Don't threaten my kids wraith!” Ichigo said simmering in fury.

 

Asuna would have said something but Hanaj had a claw in her spine releasing his shoki. He did not want to her hurt her but Hatham was here and he had to put on a show.

 

“I suggest you go home boy. I do not make a habit of killing inferior beings.” He laughed.

 

He could see her eyes and they were pleading with him. He was furious and he shouted in anger as he was suddenly gone. Hanaj sighed and turned her around.

 

“I was bluffing. I have no idea where your children are.” He said softly.

 

“Bastard!” she croaked out.

 

“I did not use enough but only to stun you. My brother is a powerful Shouten and in fact he is the undisputed king. He is pissed off at the shinigami in Hueco Mundo and he is pissed off at Meihui Jing for causing us issue. He hates the Tepest with a passion and he will make moves against him.” Hanaj said quickly.

 

“Why tell me?” she asked as feeling returned to her body.

 

“You are not my enemy! I think you are stunning as a matter of fact. I am a younger brother and of no consequence. Your uppyr on the other hand I would gladly rip apart.” He said flustered.

 

“I do not understand you.” She growled out.

 

“Shall I spell it out? I find you hot as hell as they say. I was curious about you in the other plane and when I tasted your blood…by the Gods help me you are like the most succulent delicacy I have ever tasted.” He said bluntly.

 

He stepped back and gave her a wink. She was feeling that anger and confusion when he started to fade out.

 

“Wait!” she said holding him suddenly with her will.

 

“Damn uppyr trick! What?” he demanded.

 

“What exactly are trying to tell me?” she demanded.

 

“War amongst the supernatural beings is on the horizon inu. I look forward to playing with you from time to time as well. By the way nice ass.” He said as he phased out.

 

Her eyes widened at his words and she realized that things were more than complicated, they were downright scary. She sank to her bed and a desire to just kill everything in her way presented itself. She sighed and reached for the phone.

 

“Eyal? We have a problem.” She said softly.

 

She listened and she hoped to the Kamis that they all could figure out whose side they all were on.
